Web Fetch Skill

Fetch web content. Prefer the built-in WebFetch tool — it uses a real browser engine for JavaScript-rendered pages with high success rate. Fall back to curl only if WebFetch is unavailable.

Fetch a Web Page (HTML → Text)

bash

# Get page content, strip HTML tags, first 500 lines
curl -sL "URL" | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | sed '/^$/d' | head -500

# Or use lynx for better text extraction (if installed)
lynx -dump -nolist "URL" | head -500

# Or use w3m
w3m -dump "URL" | head -500

Fetch JSON API

bash

curl -s "https://api.example.com/data" | jq '.'

Fetch with Headers

bash

# With custom headers
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Accept: application/json" "URL"

# With user agent
curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0" "URL"

Download Files

bash

# Download to specific path
curl -sL -o /tmp/file.pdf "URL"

# Download with original filename
curl -sLOJ "URL"

Check URL Status

bash

# Just get HTTP status code
curl -sL -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" "URL"

# Get headers only
curl -sI "URL"

Tips

Use
```
-sL
```
for silent mode + follow redirects
Pipe to
```
head -N
```
to limit output and avoid context overflow
For large pages, extract just what you need with
```
grep
```
or
```
sed
```
Use
```
jq
```
for JSON responses
Some sites block curl — add a browser User-Agent with
```
-A
```
